Some more tips to solve Yes No and Notgiven questions

Some practical tips

1. Read the whole question. Do NOT focus on key words. Think about the meaning of the question.
2. Be especially careful with words such as “often” and “some”. They can change the meaning of the question dramatically.
3. Be careful with questions beginning “The writer says”: here you need to think about the writer’s opinions and not about facts.
4. The questions will follow the order of the text: if you can’t find answer 12, you know it must be somewhere between 11 and 13.
5. Do not spend too long on any one question. If the answer is “Not Given”, there may be nothing for you to find.
6. One possibility is to mark all the “True” answers and all the “False” answers and then guess “Not Given” for the others.
